The Fitness Reimbursement Program encourages Associates to participate in fitness, nutrition, and mental health related programs to promote the practice of healthy lifestyle behaviors while helping to alleviate some of the cost of the programs.
Associates are eligible for a fitness reimbursement of 50% of their gym membership, fitness classes, race events and/or Weight Watchers costs up to a maximum of $400/year.
Reimbursement is based on Associate attendance and participation in the program.
